I've been noticing an increasing amount of making all these injury prevention / small type exercises into massive ME Movements.

Classic case:

Glute Bridges with 405 lbs

His form is bang on the dot and he's not just doing 1-2 reps but a whole set of 10. So yes, given that, this is adequate. What I find interesting is that an exercise like this which is really not meant to be taken so seriously and done balls to the wall, has been given SO much attention in recent times.

I believe Bret Contreras has even prescribed a "Rest-pause" method for doing this exercise.

At first, the rage was Glute Ham Raises. Now, it's time for Glute Bridges.

These injury prevention or activation exercises should not be given so much attention and trained this aggressively. I also believe that a lot of these people are convinced that doing Squats and Deadlifts for multiple sets and wave loading or generally large "volume" is bad for them….but doing these injury prevention and pseudo-isolation type exercises for crazy intensity and volume is "safe".

Mark Twain:
"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover."
"If you tell the truth, you don't have to remember anything."
"Never put off until tomorrow what you can do the day after tomorrow."

Yeah there is another thread on this where I ranted a bit: Weighted Hip Thrusts and Glute Bridges. I guess there is not need in ranting about it again, although I'm tempted. It's stupid. Plain stupid. Let's have a serious discussion about homeopathy and I'll give it more time!

Look, anyone who have ever truly coached someone to HEAVY deads, and has routinely done heavy deadlifting, will know that the strongest glutes in the world won't matter if you're back gives out and you can't stabilize it. You'll ditch it if your back can't take it. Undoubtedly, the answer would be to never deadlift heavy enough that the obvious weak links come into play. Which is why this stuff is for people who like to talk about strength but not actually do strength. There is not one body part that is the "secret" to a heavy deadlift. To get the bar from the floor to waist, the force must be transferred from the floor to the shoulders and from there through to the hands. I would think this was patently clear, but apparently not. The glutes can only provide the force, it also needs to be successfully transmitted upward through the kinetic chain to the shoulders, making the weak link in a heavy dead the back and core, not the glutes. Even then, we can fail at the shoulders and be force to abort the lift! I'll say again, if you think that deadlifting is all about the glutes, you don't know shit about heavy deadlifting. How often have you ever heard of a lifter failing at some weight on deadlift and then claiming his glutes gave out? The secret to a heavy deadlift? The deadlift.
